PPG Industries' automotive refinish business has added Ditzler Hot Rod Black topcoat to the popular Vibrance Collection product line. The new PPG topcoat provides a uniform, low gloss and deep-looking black finish designed to replicate the glory days of street rods and muscle cars, according to the company.

Although Ditzler Hot Rod Black topcoat was inspired by the iconic rides of yesteryear, this classic black with its smooth satin finish is the ideal complement to late-model builds as well.

It is available in a convenient package—the HRB9700 Hot Rod Black kit that includes a quart of Hot Rod Black and a half pint of hardener. And it can be reduced with any PPG urethane reducer in a 4:1:1 mix ratio for spraying.This new topcoat is also VOC-compliant for all regions based on reducer selection. In addition, it can be air- or force-dried.
